The perfect balance of Luxury, privacy and Location - Castello Di Monte will magically transport you to another era, when life was lived with effortless grace.
Situated on the hillside, its tall walls and massive rustic copper gates open to allow you to step into a taste of Tuscany, reminiscent of an old 16th century Italian farmers Villa. Shrouded by a beautiful garden with lavender bushes and olive trees in the front and lemon trees with a trellised garden at the back, the stucco plaster Villa transports one to another place in time. If you linger on the terrace, the sweeping views of Pretoria will snatch your breath away.
At Castello, you are our welcomed, honoured guest. Once inside, the spiral staircase, with its granite steps and rusted copper rail, catches your eye and encourages you to look upward, emphasizing the sheer height of the interior.
Enjoy elegance, tranquillity and grace - If luxury is in the detail, Castello Di Monte flies on the wings of excellence. Your special function at Castello Di Monte, whether you are attending; a business meeting, conference or a small intimate wedding (exclusive use of villa compulsory with only 20 guests maximum), it will be a truly unforgettable experience.
The landscaped garden with terraces and running water troughs lends itself to a visual feast the perfect backdrop for a perfect occasion. The formal lounge with its high fire place, dark wooden bookcase and works of art welcome you inside. Enter the main dining room with painted ceiling reminiscent of the Sistine chapel and pause for a while with family or friends to enjoy the fine cuisine, lovingly prepared by our resident chef who aims to delight the palate with his creations.
For a special occasion, enjoy a unique dining experience on the Panoramic deck on the top floor of the Villa as you take in the 360 view of panoramic Pretoria.
